The
Louisiana Water Resources Research Institute
is federally mandated to perform a statewide
function of promoting research, education
and services in water resources. To support
these activities, the federal government
provides annual funding for research grants
and to administer the grant program. The
Institute also receives state funding, partially
as a match for the federal funding. The
Institute also engages in contract research
independent of the federal program. more»
